We are excited to announce that we have a name for "Baby Sister!" Her official name is Annelise Merri Henderson!
We are going to call her Annelise. Ann is my grandmother's (Dad's mother) middle name, and Merri is short for Merriman which is my other grandmother's (Mom's mother) maiden name. We felt like God placed these names before us and are honored to have such a Godly heritage to name her after. Ann in Hebrew means "gracious and merciful" which we believe sums up my Ma. We pray that Annelise will be full of God's grace and mercy to those around her as she grows up. And Merri reminds me of my mother, my Nana, and our wonderful memories on our farm, Merri Acres which was all originally Merriman land. We pray that Annelise will be faithful and committed to God and her family as my mother has been and will nurture those in her home as both my mother and Nana did for us so very well.
The picture above is me at 27 1/2 weeks- almost 7 months. We celebrated Caleb's 3rd birthday on Saturday with a "Cars" themed party and then went bowling with family afterwards. We had a blast!! See some pictures here of the fun!

You look BEAUTIFUL and I'm so glad to see pictures of Caleb's birthday party. SO FUN! Wish Jack could have been there, of course he wouldn't have known it! I can't wait to meet precious Annelise in a few months!!!!! Love you dearly, friend!
I love the name. It has so much meaning and I know it is so special to you and Austin. Caleb looks like a handsome birthday boy! Hope he had fun.
Love you,
Rebekah
What a perfect name and worth the wait! Caleb has gotten so big, what a handsome boy.
Nicole!!! So, how many years has it been? I just posted a comment on Laura's blog and looked at her blogroll and saw "The Hendersons" and knew it had to be you all! What a fun surprise to find your blog and learn you all are expecting a little girl! And guess what??? Annelise is our first daughter's name! We spell it the exact same way! She goes by Annie but we both absolutely love Annelise and I call her that all the time. We saw the Morrow's in the fall when they were in town. It was great to catch up with them a little. Congrats to you and Austin and your little boy is just precious! Many blessings to your family!
